Pompeii & Mount Vesuvius

A real history fest, this tour takes place in Pompeii, the city that lay buried for centuries.
It was Millennia back, in 79AD, when Mount Vesuvius blew its top and covered it in choking ash. And today the remains of temples, villas and streets look more or less as they did 2,000 years ago.
As for the mighty fire mountain itself, this one's up alongside Krakatoa in the notoriety stakes.
And it's the only active volcano on Europe's mainland. As you can imagine, the views from the top are phenomenal.
